Rolling with the Tide 2016

Offense: Bama returns a lot of talent on the offensive side of the ball. Bama's offensive line is perhaps the best that this University has ever seen. Anchore by Senior center Jason Johnson they should be able to give defense fits all year. Coach JFunk will rely on his line to control the line of scrimmage and be the key to the success of his offense. If they can control the trenches it will open up lanes for redshirt senior running back Jeremy Hill and give redshirt senior quarterback Eddie Hale time to hit his primetime receivers, senior Aaron Parks and redshirt sophomore Aaron Alexander. This offense will live and die on the success of it's offensive line. Hopefully they play up to their potential.

Defense: Alabama has always been a team that prides itself on playing great defense and this year is no different. They have shifted philosophy a bit over the years as the new blood has hit campus with more of a 4-3 defensive look. This team defensive team is fast and athletic and the secondary may be it's strongest point. Redshirt seniors LaRue Johnson and Patrick Perry at the corners should be able to match up against any receiving tandem in the country. Mike Bracken at the nickel is good enough to start for about 120 FBS schools. Julian Lucas and Justin Mackey are huge playmakers at safety. This defense doesn't have to be great but it should have a lot of big play ability and should be able to force enough stops to let the offense have a chance to win every game.
